Re: Perth to Albany

Nice to see Locutus given a good run - I'm sure he appreciates it. I know what it is capable of on the 2v engine. My mind shudders to think what a 4v engine will do to it.

G'day Ellis - your beautiful sister still with you - miss her heaps!!!

Re: E24 40th anniversary.

That's a great read Ron. Thank you ! I can confirm the sentiments in the piece. Just came back from a blast down south along the freeways. LOCUTUS lived up to the hype and then some. Saw off a Mach 1 Mustang who gave up at somewhere north of 160km/h. The car just wanted more, but prudence got the b...

Re: VINNY'S OUTBACK TALE!

Hi Pod, pretty tough with the rain / floods there - are you affected (hope not)?


One of the Ford guys who runs an Auto-electrical business just posted about an 85 Red M635 coming in for work - BMW's are his favourite Euro!

Then, for no particular reason it started to become difficult to get into gear. What ever was happening was intermittent. Ge...
